<h1>Adding or disabling a watermark for a document</h1>
<p>A watermark is a faint design appearing in the background of a page. 
 Watermarks typically identify or decorate pages. Examples include the 
 word Confidential stamped on every page or a business logo appearing in 
 the background of every page. If the document contains multiple layouts, 
 the watermark appears in every page of every layout. Watermarks in documents 
 can be either text or an image. For examples of both, see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>Report 
 Services Document Creation Guide</I></span>. </p>
<p>The watermark is placed within the margins of the document; it does 
 not extend to the edge of the paper.</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>In a <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>text watermark</B></span>, 
 the text is cropped if it extends past the document margins. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>For an <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>image watermark</B></span>, 
 the image is centered on the page. As with images placed elsewhere on 
 a document, the image file must be available to both the Intelligence 
 Server and to the designers of the document. For details, see 
<a HREF="Add_images_to_documents.htm">Adding 
 images to documents</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Watermarks are displayed in the exported PDF only; they are not shown 
 in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Editable</B></span>, 
 <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Interactive</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Flash</B></span>, 
 or <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>View</B></span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Mode</B></span> 
 in MicroStrategy Web.</p>
<p>A watermark is a document backdrop. Whatever you print on that paper 
 appears on top of the watermark. Therefore, any object that is not transparent 
 prints over or hides the watermark. If you want a watermark to show through 
 a Grid/Graph, set the background of Grid/Graph cells to transparent. Similarly, 
 the background of a text field, rectangle, and so on must be transparent 
 to allow the watermark to show.</p>
<h2>Project watermarks and document watermarks</h2>
<p>You can define watermarks at both the project level and the document 
 level. </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>A <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>project watermark</B></span> 
 allows you to have the same watermark, such as a business logo, on every 
 document in the project. You create project watermarks in MicroStrategy 
 Desktop. Project watermarks are displayed in both Desktop and MicroStrategy 
 Web.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>A <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>document watermark</B></span> 
 allows specific documents to have an individual watermark. By default, 
 when document watermarks are enabled, they overwrite the project watermark.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For example, most documents display your business logo; however, internal 
 documents need to be marked Confidential. Since a project watermark is 
 overwritten by a document watermark, you can create a project watermark 
 that uses the logo, but allow documents to overwrite the project watermark. 
 Next, for each internal document, create a document watermark with the 
 text Confidential.</p>
<p>You can also choose whether to enable document watermarks, so that you 
 can control whether the project watermarks can be overwritten. This allows 
 you to create a variety of watermarks for different purposes.</p>
<p>For steps to perform any of the following scenarios, see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>MicroStrategy 
 Desktop Online Help</I></span>:</p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>All documents from a particular project must be marked 
 Confidential. To do this, create a project watermark with the text Confidential. 
 Since you do not ever want this project watermark to be overwritten, disable 
 document watermarks in Desktop.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>The project has a watermark but you do not want to display 
 any watermark on a specific document. To do this, set the document's watermark 
 to no watermark.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You do not want to allow any watermarks on any documents. 
 To do this, set the project watermark to no watermark and disable document 
 watermarks.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>You can create project watermarks and enable document watermarks only 
 from MicroStrategy Desktop, not in MicroStrategy Web. The settings affect 
 both Desktop and Web, however. You can create document watermarks in MicroStrategy 
 Web as well as in Desktop.</p>
<h2>To create a document watermark or disable all watermarks for a document</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the document in <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design
